Project Grant 2317997
- This four-year, $532,649 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research titled "Collaborative Research: Circum-Antarctic Processes from Archived Marine Sediment Cores." Funded through the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA #47.078), the grant aims to analyze marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine glacial and oceanographic processes around Antarctica over the past 20,000 years. Led by three early-career women principal...
- This $776,963 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research analyzing marine sediment cores from around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the University of Virginia, the project team will leverage archived sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine physical, biological, and geochemical properties indicating past...
- This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
- This $109,690 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program will support a collaborative research project to obtain new ice cores from Antarctica and analyze them to improve understanding of galactic cosmic ray flux and the Holocene methane budget. The project will use measurements of in-situ cosmogenic carbon-14 in the ice cores to test the assumption of a constant galactic cosmic ray flux over time, which is crucial for studies of past solar...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $462,000.00 to the University of Washington to investigate Arctic sea-ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct past Arctic sea-ice extent, ocean nutrient levels, and biological activity during key warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago) and the Last...
- This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during past warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum and the Last...
- This $211,412 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs award under the Polar Programs (47.078) federal grant program will fund a collaborative research project between Oregon State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examining Arctic shelf sediment pathways and morphodynamic feedbacks. The award period is from December 15, 2022 through August 31, 2023. Specifically, the researchers will conduct field measurements of sediment fluxes and seabed properties...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award to Brown University aims to improve the accuracy of sediment age models used in paleoclimate research. The $185,618 award, effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will compile over 250 marine sediment core radiometric ages to enhance the constraints on the new "BigMACS" age modeling software. This will lead to more accurate sedimentation rate estimates and reduced age-model...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $218,256 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence for variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. The three-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will fund analysis of sediment cores to strengthen understanding of Pliocene-Pleistocene climate dynamics in Antarctica under the NSF's Polar Programs...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $288,448 Project Grant to Oregon State University to conduct collaborative research on using X-ray tomography to characterize the microstructure of sea ice during stress tests. The goal is to develop multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior, which is critical for improving Arctic navigation, infrastructure design, and climate adaptation strategies. This research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs Project Grant award provides $300,642 to Oregon State University to trace polar sediments using short-lived radioisotopes in 75 years of Arctic and Antarctic sediment cores. The goal is to systematically study Arctic and Antarctic sediment accretion rates in order to improve the tools used to track changes in sedimentation, thereby helping coastal managers and decision-makers understand how climate change is impacting polar coastlines and marine environments. The research involves subsampling and analyzing sediment cores for the activities of lead-210 (half-life 22.3 years) and cesium-137 (half-life 30.1 years) using alpha and gamma spectroscopy, respectively. Additional analyses on sediment bulk density, grain size, and organic content will provide context on the depositional environment. This award, which runs from November 15, 2023 to October 31, 2025, is funded under NSF's CFDA program 47.078 Polar Programs.
